Tokens and client security

by Jake london · in Torque 3D Professional · 10/06/2009 (5:40 am) · 4 replies

I would like to use a token based authentication system between client and server, what i would like to know is what is the best way around this, is there a way to make client send this token every time it sends data? or is there a better way to implement it?

Thanks

You need to find exactly where Torque prepares the packet to be sent to the client, and the first thing you could do is write your token to it.

What is the purpose of the token? Are you trying to do like a challenge to insure the data isn't being falsified?

Primarily as a ticket.. similar to kerberos .. token is validated upon every request for authentication purposes.

Brett, having mentioned tampering of data.. does torque provide some method for signing requests?
